    Can you not set Conditional Formatting rules to Combo Boxes?


    Using a Form, if you have a field that is a Combo Box is it true that you cannot apply any Conditional Formatting rules? I’m trying & it’s not working. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Yes you can, but the Formatting only occurs after a selection is made, not when the box is dropped down.

    The problem with making anything foolproof...is that fools are so darn ingenious!
